[Verse]
The sky is bruised like a lover’s fight
Stars keep falling but they don’t feel right
I lit a match just to watch it fade
[Chorus]
Oh whiskey moonlight
Tell me why
Why you shine but leave me dry
Oh whiskey moonlight
In the sky
You burn slow
You burn high
[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch like they’ve got no end
A bottle’s empty but it won’t pretend
That the ghosts are gone
They still linger here
[Prechorus]
I ask the night
I beg the wind
Where do I stop
Where do I begin
[Chorus]
Oh whiskey moonlight
Tell me why
Why you shine but leave me dry
Oh whiskey moonlight
In the sky
You burn slow
You burn high
[Bridge]
You don’t speak
But you never lie
A lonely truth in that empty sky
I chase you down but you slip away
Whiskey moonlight
Lead me astray
